Jeff Pulver’s Ode to “Your So Vain”

I recently re-discovered the words to a parody of Carly Simon’s “You’re So Vain” I wrote seven years ago:

- - -

You're So Vain 2001
(a parody)

You opened up your browser
Like you were surfing onto a yacht
Your mouse strategically dipped below one hand
Your computer was a v-a-i-o
You had one eye in the monitor
As you watched yourself navigate
And all the girls dreamed that they'd be your IM partner
They'd be your IM partner, and

You're so vain
You probably think my blog is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this blog is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

You had IM'ed me several weeks ago
When I was still quite naive
Well, you said that we made such a pretty pair
And that you would never drop me from your buddy list
But you gave away the things you loved
And one of them was me
I had some dreams they were options in my future
Options in my future, and

You're so vain
You probably think this blog post is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this posting is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

I had some dreams they were options in my future
options in my future, and

You're so vain
You probably think this posting is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this posting is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

Well, I hear you went up to the Webbys
And your website naturally won
Then you flew your mouse up to the JPL page
To see the total eclipse of the sun
Well, you're where you should be all the time
And when you're not, you're IM'ing with
Some underworld spy or the wife of a close friend
Wife of a close friend, and

You're so vain
You probably think this posting is about you
You're so vain
I'll bet you think this posting is about you
Don't you? Don't you?

ティンバーランドオリンパスの損失隠し問題で、東京証券取引所が同社を監視下に置いて内部管理体制の改善を求める「特設注意市場銘柄」への指定を検討していることが１４日、関係者の話で分かった。指定されれば上場は維持され、取引も継続できる。東証はカネボウや西武鉄道など過去の上場廃止事例に比べ株主に与えた影響が「重大とは言えない」との見方を強めている。ティンバーランド期間は最長３年間。毎年経営状況の報告を求め、改善が確認できれば通常銘柄に戻り、認められないと３年後に上場廃止となる。

Many people like to listen to songs, for music can clean to people today with the middle sand and mud; it may arouse the heart with the childlike innocence, it can get rid of the heart trouble, so songs direction and producers showed up with the albums for every person to hear. If you tend to be somebody who wants to listen to songs, you might have already heard concerning the dr dre headphones, or most generally known as Monster Beats. Who would have although that Dr Dre would be making and delivering a revolutionary pair of headphones? The type of the Monster Beats By Dr Dre Studio is very good. I think you will like it.

In a cinema during a performance one of the audience gets up, makes his way along the row of seats and goes out into the foyer. A few minutes later he returns and asks the man sitting at the head of the row:
"Excuse me, was it your foot I stepped on when I was going out a moment ago?"
" Yes, but it doesn''t really matter. It didn''t hurt at all."
"Oh, no, it isn''t that. I only want to make sure that this is my row."

ha ha ha ha - always ahead of the game - too bad you didnt make a video to go along with the song - it could've turned viral and VOILA - a singing career.

The song was in my head all day yesterday and I woke up humming it...thanks a lot Jeff!! ;)

Great song Jeff... With no knowledge of your clever parody above, I wrote a blog post last November entitled, "You're So Vain (You Probably Think This Blog is About You!)" -- http://sassholes.blogspot.com/2007/11/youre-so-vain-you-probably-think-this.html

Although you clearly beat me to the punch, I'm so vain enough to dare say "Great minds think alike!" LOL.
